Chapter 11
2 years later……
The years had gone by and Tristan and Lyndsey could not have been happier. Everyday seemed like a new adventure. The married life didn't seem as different as when they were single, but there are always some differences. They never had time to themselves, and that is what got them both a lot of the time. They both liked their silence and solitude. It was in those times that they had their fights. Other than that, they seemed perfect.
The knights 15 years of service were up. They had one final mission before they were set free, help escort the bishop to Hadrians Wall. The knights could not have been happier. Finally, they were free from this servitude and were able to go and have a life of their own. Tristan and Lyndsey already had a life of their own, but not the freedom they wanted.
As usual, they packed up their horses the night before so they would be able to leave early. They packed the bare necessities that they would need for the journey. Once they were done, they all retired to their quarters for the rest of the night. Usually they would go to the tavern, but seeing as they had to leave at dawn, they needed their rest. Lyndsey and Tristan of course didn't sleep at all that night. They never went to bed on time, unless they were completely exhausted. Lyndsey had still not become pregnant. She wondered why she hadn't. It wasn't totally wrong for her, seeing as she wasn't an actual knight, but she was thankful also that she wasn't because of all the fighting. If she was, everyone would forbid her to go, and she didn't want that. She wanted to be out on the field with her husband and her brothers. She didn't let that bother her for tonight would be another glorious night with Tristan.
The next morning was brutal for everyone. They all staggered into the stables with one eye open and dragging their armor behind them.
Lyndsey and Tristan were the last to enter. They both had big grins on their face and continued to smile at each other.
"Well it's nice to know you guys got some sleep. I only got three hours!" cried Galahad.
"Stop your whining. At least you got 3 hours." Replied Tristan coolly. He looked over to Lyndsey with a smirk on his face.
"Well, that's still not enough!" yelled Galahad.
"What bothers you more Galahad? The fact that we got more sleep than you or the fact that we got some last night?" said Lyndsey with a nonchalant smirk on her face.
Galahad looked over to her to see her smiling. He couldn't help but laugh. Leave it up to Lyndsey to lighten up a room.
Arthur soon walked in with a smile on his face. "Well knights, this is your last mission before you are free men. Make sure you embrace your freedom with honor."
"O don't worry about that my friend, i'm gonna get piss drunk tonight!" yelled Bors.
"You do that every night." Said Lyndsey.
Bors just shrugged and continued packing things into his saddlebags.
When everyone was finished packing, they mounted up and rode out to meet their freedom that they had long been waiting for.
Sorry so short, next one will be longer promise!
